The specific error message that I listed above: window-min-size-1: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size occurred when I tried to `C-SPC C-h M-w' the *Message* buffer. When I was geting different "max-specpdl-size" errors with almost everything I subsequently did, I started up a new Emacs instance in order to file a bug report. I then tried to copy the *Message* buffer from the original Emacs instance that was having this problem into the new Emacs instance in order to provide information for the bug report. I could `C-x b' (switch-to-buffer) to the *Message* buffer and a few other things but most things resulted in different "max-specpdl-size" warning messages. (BTW, I noticed that after sending a bug report and successfully sending with `C-c C-c', the Bug Report Help buffer created when invoking `(report-emacs-bug)' at least from the menu-bar, remains visible as another (split) window. Is that intentional?)
